RIVERSIDE. January 12.--The fruit
growers and business men of Riverside
are very indignant over the report given
forth by the house of w. 7. Coleman q
CO., to the effect that half the orange
crop of Riverside was destroyed by frost
ON Monday morning last. The report is
false. On November last there was frost
here that affected small per centage OF
the fruit in the lowest portions OF the
settlement, but on Monday last the ex-
treme cold was of 20 short duration that
in most of the orchards the tender shoots
grown within the past few weeks were
not wiited. This cold snap did not do
one. tenth the damage of the November
frost. During the past few weeks since
the first of December very many OF the
crops have been sold on the trees at
high figures. bang purchased by men
Who understood their business aud these
prices would not have been paid for
damaged fruit. Hon. A. P. johnson
states that not to exceed two per cent.
of his fruit has been injured and this is
che fine sample orchard, and the crop
of the entire valley will probably not
exceed this estimate. These facts are
given after careful interviews with lead
ing orchardists and men who are posted.

BERLIN, January 1.-THE debate o.
the army bill was resumed in the Reich
stag to-day. Or. Winthorst again spoke
in favor of triennial term.
Prince Bismarck replied: ''In three
years we might be confronted with IL
tered circumstances to be sure. It IL A.
most impossible to calculate the posi-.
ton Of affairs seven years hence, but
during that period he thought peace
would be secured and compromise
would be possible. In the Center party
q number of heterogeneous political ele-
ments are becoming united but will the
union last Is its continuance until
next election certain? At a time when
SO many rights and privileges were
granted to the Reichstag by the consti-
tion there was no idea that they would
lead to such miserable disputes as have
now arisen. In speaking of the Imperial
army the chancellor said he had no in
tention to detract from the rights of the
sovercigns of the federal states - the
heads of their respective states, nor,
he continued, would the government
contest the right of the House to criti-
else the bill during debate on the bad.
get. provided the governments proposals
were now accepted. Referring to the
question of the working classes, he
declared that the government did not
wish to drag it into the present discussion.
He was sure if called upon by the
Emperor the working class of Germany
would be ready at all times to lcome for
ward in defense of the fatherlsnd. In
concluding, he rssured the House that
he would not abandon hairsbreadth of
the bills and must insist upon the full
scope of the measure. The Reichstag
then adjourned.
Prince Bismarck has long daily con-
ferences with the Emperor with refer.
ence, it is supposed. to the position Of
the Reichstag. In government circles it
is believed that decision will be taken
tomorrow. The governments sup
porters despair of the passage of the
measure.

LONDON, January l2.-Lord Iddss-
leigh, better known as Sir 8 tafford
Northcote, is dead. Lord Idde sleigh
this afternoon, while ascending the stairs
OF the Salisbury residence. on Downing
street, tainted. He was taken into the
Prime Minister'S room and almost In
stantly expired. The Prime Minister
arrived shortly after Lord Iddeslsiah
was taken i'll and while the doctors were
trying to rally him. He is greatly IT.
fected by the death of his former mss-
ter.
Manlers, Salisbury's private sscrstary,
says; "The moment Lord Iddesleigh
came inside the snterooin he sank down
upon chair. was in the next roou
and, hearing groans. I went into the
anteroom and lifted him to sofa. Ths
doctors were in immediate attsndAnce
and remedies were applied, but he never
spoke. He died in twenty minutes aftsr
he was taken Ill"
His son, Henry Stafford Northcote,
was sent for, but did not reach his father
until ten minutes after all was over. He
lett later for Exeter, the family seat. to
tell his mother of her husbands death.
DR.. Mortimer Granville, Lord Iddss-
leigh's physician, has issued bulletin
in relation to his lordship's death. In
it he says Lord Iddesleigh. for many
years past has suffered with cardiac 81
which, while not placing his
life in immedi tie peril rendered the
prospect Of its sudden termination only
too possible. He died of syncope. The
melancholy event, although startling to
those around him, has not been unfor-
seen by his immediate friends and has
been anticipated by his medical atten-
danis.
The Queen was deeply affected BY the
news of the Earl's death and immedi-
ately sent telegram expressing sympa-
thy with the widow and family.
Gladstone, who always highly -
teemed Iddesleigb, was much affected.

A WRECK.
A Passenger Train PlungedDown
an Embankment.


KANSAS CRY, January l2.-The south
bound passenger train on the Missouri
Pacific extension, which left Omaha last
night and was due here this morning,
was wrecked near Dunbar, Neb., about
midnight. The wreck was caused by the
loosening of q rail done by parties un-
known. Several spikes and fish plates
had been removed and the train coming
along at the rate of thirty miles per hour
plunged fifteen feet down an embank.
nent and landed in a snow drift. James
Dewitt, of Wyandotte, Kas., the engin.
eer, was caught under the boiler and
killed. His body had not been recovered
at last accounts. Frank Meneweth, ex-
press messenger, whose home is in this
city, was internally hurt and may die.
A lady whose name was not learned was
badly hurt, but the other passengers
were not seriously injured as far as
known here. All were shaken up, how
ever, and more or less bruised. The
Missouri Pacific officials here state that
the wreck is the result of the third ct.
tempt upon the life of Dewitt, the en-.
gineer. They say some of the men en-.
gagged in the strike last spring cherished
q grudge against Dewitt because he was
an active supporter of the company dur
ing the great strike. The sheriff and
several others are searching the neigh
borhood and reward will be offered for
the wreckers. A number of California
excursionists were among the party.

LONDON. January l2.-Goschen has

majority of Englishmen are less willing
than ever to surrender any portion of
the Kingdom to the advocates OF the
plan of campaign. The Unionists have
been able to avert separation
and a catastrophe but unwearied pa
tience and unfinching courage are nee.
essary to maintain the victory. The

sideration, still we must look to other
national interests. The country cannot

cannot allow that discomfort to either
paralyze our power abroad or destroy
our capacity for legislation at home.
The separatist party deluded themselves

Britain. On the contrary, such sur
render would be another step in the
downward course of disintegration and

the electors differing with him on some
points to make similar sacrifice for the

WASHINGTON, January l2.--Secretary
Bayard has written letter to Senator
Sherman, Chairman of the Committee
on Foreign Relations, in which he says
he learns that there is q strong desire
on the part of the government of Spain
that raisins and currants which now pay
one and two cents per pound duty there
respectively, should pay the same duty
on entering the United States. 'It is
represented to this department" says
the Secretary, ''that the equalization Of
the duties on these two articles would
have most beneficial effect upon nego.

New York, January ia tariff re-

Free Trade Club of New York, was held
tonight at Cooper Union Hall, which
was tiled. Everett p. Wheeler called
the meeting to order and presented Jack.
son s. Schultz as chairman of the meet
ing. He was in favor of q revenue tariff,
not protective tariff. President Cleve.
land and Secretary Manning were lauded
for the statesmanlike manner in present.
ing the question to Congress. Editor w.
+. Dawson, of the Charleston News and
Courier, made strong plea in favor of
reducing the burdens of taxation upon
the Southern farmer, declaring that the
South was no longer rebellious and only
asked for an opportunity to reap the
fruits of its toll. Henry George was
called for at the close of Dawson's ad.
dress, and he spoke. He said he want.
ed more than tariff reform. He wanted
to abolish the whole tariff, root and
branch. He thought Cleveland's argu.
ments in favor of tariff reform had been
weak.

full Exhibition.
CHICAGO, January l2.-The managers
of the Northern California Citrus Fair
have determined to close the exhibit
tonight. They had thought of keeping
it open all the week, but the fruit has
been so long on exhibition that much of
it was deteriorating, and they did not
care to have their stock curtailed or of
poor quality. The managers profess to
be we'll pleased with the result of their
venture here, and think it will have
good effect as regards making good
Eastern market for their products. and
perhaps in measure influencing immi-
grafton.
Their expenses slightly exseed their
receipts, but they hardly expect to clear
any thing and certainly do not come
with that object in view. If their COM
ing had been advertised and announced
more freely it would no doubt have re.
suited in a largely increasing number of
visitors. As it was large body of resi-
dents were just becoming aware of their
presence here.

am able to attend your sessions and
ready to enter upon the{ constitutional
functions prescribed in section 2 Of arti-

rights.
(Signed) r. I. ROBERTSON,
Lieut.. Governor.
A copy of the osth of Office as it had
been administered by Judge Walker was
attached. A motion to reject prevailed
by party vote.
Senator Winter announced that the
Republican minority would consider
Col. Robertson as Lieutenant Governor
and Senator Smith as an usurper in
maintaining the office, and the latter in
vited Senator Winter to test the matter
in the courts.
At late hour this afternoon Presi.
dent pro tenn. Smith dled quo warranto
proceedings against the Lieutenant
Governor-elect. The papers were
filed in the Marion Circuit
Court and the hearing will begin before
Judge Ayres at 9 o'clock tomorrow

Smiths complaint was filed, is the judge
who held that his court had no jurisdic-
tion when Smith sought to restrain the
Secretary of State from transmitting
the result of the vote on Lieutenant
Governor to the Speaker of the House,
which ruling was sustained by the Su-
preme Court. A speedy decision of the
present case is expected.

of the wineries for fertilizer with good
results. After the grapes have been
crushed, the seeds, stems and skins are
gathered up and carried off by the far.
mers, who dump them on their lands
and plow them under. 1t would seem
as if there was no waste to the grape
